delinking the tax and budget issues and this is going to push the arguments down the road. >> and with the advantage economically and politically of the proposal on both sides? >> that is a good question. we put that so to some political analysts. in a way, that is a win-win for both sides. the republicans would be able to go out and avoid an economic catastrophe and held the law against new taxes o. flipside, democrats can say that they preserved the deep cuts and in social security and medicare. in a sense, nothing would change and both would clack victory. >> that sounds like washington and tom fitzgerald tonight. right now, mourners are inside a palm desert, california, church, remembering the life of betty ford.

president of the that union, randy winegarten where they're meeting now. is she available now? can you hear us? having technical issues with that picture. we're going to take a break here and try to get back to that as quickly as we can. again, this is an issue going on all over the nation and talking about standardized tests. i believe randy is with us. are you this their? can you hear me? okay. yeah, i can. >> okay. >> let me get your reaction. >> yes, i can had you now. >> let me get your reaction to the cheating scandal that is happening in several countries around the country. what is your reaction to the situation underway? >> actually we said from the moment that our union blew the whistle on this scandal in 2005 in atlanta, that cheating is

unacceptable. we have said that from that moment and, unfortunately, the system of atlanta is -- with what our union said and in fact, people who came forward got fired. and cheating, bottom line, unacceptable. and there are thousands across america who don't succumb to this kind of behavior and we need to make sure that we know that. >> okay. >> and so, let me say this. the environment we're finding ourselves in is the test data and the targets become more important than teaching and learning for kids. and what is really the tragedy is that when you look all across america, the academics and standardized tests don't move the needle. when you look at -- [

overlapping speakers ] you compare with. >> the testing right now. >> right. >> and what is worse is that the emphasis, there is not anything like that in the countries and they're doing better. >> uh-huh. >> and rather than having this emphasis on testing and on fear and entimidation, we should follow what they do, which is an emphasis on teaching critical thinking and teaching problem solving and ultimately, a climate of trust and collaboration rather than fire error and intimidation. >> "usa today" quoted you as saying the union will represent accused teachers to ensure fairness and to make sure, this is a quote, that it's not a witch-hunt. do you think there is a witch- hunt going to well, our union, as i said, in atlanta and in washington, d.c., as soon as our union saw what was going on in washington, d.c., they called for a deal kind of

investigation. like what happened in atlanta to get to the bottom of this. what is starting to happen in atlanta is that all of a sudden instead of saying let's really make sure that we snuff this out, we make sure that the teachers and administrators who never were comfortable are held in good esteem and let's come up with particles to make sure it never happens again. there is too much of the finger pointing and rather than making sure it never happens again. >> we want to make sure our teachers report cheating our kids. >> right. >> and by helping our kids teach. >> right. >> and with the panel? >> to leave see this? -- oversee this? >> i, i -- we are calling for, in washington, the same thing that the governor did in atlanta. and in georgia. this is not a partisan matter. this is a bipartisan matter. you have to get to the bottom of it for credibility.

virtually all teachers don't succumb, you know, teachers are incredible people. very few of them succumb to this kind of behavior. you have to make sure that people are treated fairly and the bottom line is that most importantly, you have to make sure that kids are not cheated. when kids get better test scores than they ought to have because of some misappropriation or some funny business, we're cheating kids. all in all, we have to give back to an environment where we're focused on diving and learning, where we have -- on teaching and learning. that is what the countries at our computers do and that is what we should do here. >> randy weingarten, thanks for joining us tonight. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> and we'll be right back.
